Hydrocortisone is a steroid medication that treats inflammation in the body. The drug comes in an oral form to take by mouth, and a topical form to apply to the skin.
Some kids ask to be left alone as early as 5 or 6; others enjoy having your company until they start approaching puberty, closer to 9 or 10. Bathing alone, however, can be risky because of drowning dangers, and it can take just a few seconds for even older kids to slip and drown in only a few inches of water.
My child is 5 years old. I know 5 is too young to shower/bath themselves but at what age should I encourage him to try to wash his own hair, body ect.? Update: My son is petrified of soap in his eyes even though I of course use baby shampoo but he cringes everytime I wash his hair. I try to encourage him to try it on his own but he won't.
